I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

All but Arch. Find commands much easier to remember and me having dyslexia and ADHD my memory is shocking.
I put commands in a bash script, with a parameter for each one, and it lists them all if I don’t give a parameter. So for example it goes “arch upgrade” instead of having to remember “pacman -Syuu”.
I use paru and the default is “paru” with no parameter for the upgrade. But I am on your team here: I have to Google every single time the -Q params for all the queries and I have been using arch for almost 2 decades now: “who owns this file?” “what are the deps of this package?” “Which packages are installed?” “Which packages I explicitly installed vs dependencies?” Not a single one of them is intuitive to query with the pacman command line for some reason.
i do similar too, also found ble.sh helps alot especially with navigating my system. i also expand on the bashrc by adding custom commands like
installed() { pacman -Qs "$1" | awk -F/ '/^local/ {print $2}' | cut -d' ' -f 1 }its apt as i forget witch packages i have installed
